Why don't we grant citizenship to mexican immigrants instead of chasing them from job to job and tax them?
Answer:
The majority of the U.S. fears it will become a country where whites are the minority. That would change a lot of things in Washington.
I'm not saying we should just allow anyone in, but your trying to plug a gaping hole with bubble gum. My father was born in Puerto Rico, so he was already a citizen. My mother was not, but did so the right way and studied and followed the program accordingly.
We need to find a medium. This will allow hard working good people in and limit the trouble out. In the long run, we're going to pay for it anyway.
NO! Enforce the laws we have in place and make the border secure. Then we deport the prisoners back to their home countries forceably if necessary, that will solve prison overcrowding since most are illegals.
P.S. I will pay for my own bullets if the government gives me amnesty to use them.
Great idea, there's a lot of tax money to be collected from a family of 6 with a total income of $16,000 a year.
Seriously, do you understand that most of them would end up getting an Earned Income Tax Credit of about $4,000 to $6,000 a year? They'd pay less than nothing.
We actually do. It's called amnesty.
That's were the government goes wrong. The government does not need to pardon these people.
If we start granting citizenship, then it will only encourage more illegal immigration. People will know that they can come here illegal and then be granted citizenship later.
Do you realize that most (not all) immigrants have a very low education level? One of the keys to success in the US is education. When they get here and can't get a job paying enough to support them, do you know what will happen? Government Support. That's what. That means more that we have to pay in taxes to 'help' support them, their family members and any children they have. The cost that unskilled, uneducated illegals impose will outway whatever cost you think is spent.
Also, the money spent for increasing border patrol, fences, etc....also helps protect us from terroism too.
Do you think that only mexicans travel across the mex borders?
Well for one,if we grant illegal immigrants citizenship they would be able to vote,and they would vote for things that benefit their country of origin,not the U.S. Also this would only encourage more illegal immigration not only from Mexico but from many other countries.
You don't reward people who's very first action on US soil is to break the law!
Heck....why not just let all the prisoners out of jail.....they could be working and paying taxes instead of my tax dollars paying to feed and house them better than some citizens. Lets just dispence with laws all together since it doesn't seem to matter diddly anyway? Lets just open those borders, have a darn free for all, no holes barred, and get this survival of the fittest game going. No whining, no freebies, no special interest groups.....nothing. Dog eat dog. Last one left standing wins. I hate long drawn out things.
Yes. Laws need to be Reformed so badly
Why should we give them citizenship when the evidence shows that they don't want to be Americans.
The laws need to be reformed badly. The people who do want to become citizens do not have the means to do so. It is not that they do not want to be here it is that they are sending money home and trying to make a better life for their families. My husband and I have sent money to his mother for 5 years just so that she and my brother-in-law can eat. My brother-in law works 60 hours a week and make 60 pesos a day which is roughly $5.50 a day. Illegal people still pay taxes too for all you people who think they don't. They pay and pay and pay and never get any of the benefits.
You must not be close enough to the problem yet.
They are extremely ethnocentric, meaning they see themselves as Mexicans not Americans. This means they're more interested in acquiring economic and political power and street power for their group than what's best for America as a whole.
When these people crossed the border, they didn't suddenly transform into moral saints. Mexico is one of the most dangerous, corrupt places in the world. They're bringing in that culture with them. Street gangs is a sign of machismo for them.
Do you want street gangs in your neighborhood?
Recently I went to an upscale mall, that was mostly in an affluent neighborhood. It had been half a year since I'd been there. My have things changed. Because this mall was filled with these gang-banger types walking around! They were walking trying to look tough too and staring people down. Many of them you could tell had this smirk on their face, knowing they were invading an affluent mall, scaring all the normal people. It was sick.
You had freaky looking people who look like they just crossed the border staring at young women, sizing them up. It was bad.
The US is being invaded point blank. And the Feds don't care, all they care about is cheap labor.
An amnesty failed in 1986 (gave more than 3 million carte Blanc citizenship), and it will only be worse today (as proposed, SB-2611 will give citizenship to 30 million). We're being displaced out of our jobs and out of our own country. Is it not possible that people will fight with one-another for the shrinking natural resources?
How about water? How about clean air— California smog? How about farmland? How about growing-fields sanitization? How about traffic? How about housing? How about schools? How about standard of living? How about quality of life? How about greenhouse gases? How about grid-lock?
Ever hear the sound of a toilet flushing? Ever see one backed up? Ever see and smell the results of both? How many times can you expand a sewage-treatment plant? Where do you put the trash?
We are being invaded by millions of Mexicans every year and
you want to do nothing? What a coward! If we allow all of
these invaders to become citizens, we will lose the southwestern
US states ot Mexico. Cowardly politicians like Ted Kennedy and
John McCain are planning to do just that. We must stop these
uneducated, unskilled, peasants from becoming citizens at all costs.
We don't need millions of Mexicans who refuse to assimilate. What an insane policy to allow millions of Mexicans to become dual citizens of Mexico and the USA! Their first allegiance will always be to Mexico.
The US needs skilled and educated immigrants who are willing to assimilate to our culture. We certainly do not need any more Mexicans. Did you not see the protests last year where the illegal aliens and their traitorous allies were marching to Mexican flags?
No Amnesty!
I agree. Let's grant citizenship to every legal immigrant from Mexico. Let's deport the illegal ones to make room for them.
Deal or no deal?
Just grant all of them legal status with at least temporary residents status.
And if any of them misbehave, have the people who were victimized punish them or imprison them (house arrrest, limited travel, etc) if you don't know on what to do with them.
There's no need to give them citizenship status.
It should be noted that many illegal immigrants travel legally or 'legally', but stay illegally or 'legally'.
Why? Because most people are stupid and can't see that this nation would actually benefit from it.
Christina H - I agree with you 100%, even down to the last bullet!
This lady, will definitely arm herself..
Poor people can't pay enough tax to cover the cost of education for their children much less for other services poor people use. It costs $10,000 to educate a single child for one year in California. We subsidize poor people, and that money is taken from our own children's education and from the services intended for our own people. Schools are ruined in areas where illegal immigrants concentrate. Poor people don't pay much in tax. That is why we and every country in the world limit how many poor can come.
